“Cristin was wonderful. She was kept us updated on their wellbeing -sending pictures periodically of them and even won over our timid pointer. We will definitely use her to watch our fur babies in the future”
“Brianna was absolutely amazing! If I could give her more stars I would! She was wonderful with our 3 dogs! She did everything we asked and more! She was on time, checked in with us the whole time, she left our house so clean and nice (which I did not ask she just did) she is so incredibly nice and thoughtful she even left us banana bread and dip! I will absolutely be using her again and referring her anytime someone asks! She was very thorough and asked questions and took great care of our dogs! I cannot say enough about her she is truly awesome and I can't wait to use her again!!!”
About: I combine reliable, structured care with transparent communication. You will never have to wonder how your best friend is doing—I send frequent photo and video updates throughout the day. Whether your dog needs energetic, long walks to burn off steam or extra patience and gentle companionship, I tailor my energy to match theirs. Pet care seamlessly blends into my active, flexible lifestyle. I am an avid walker and outdoor enthusiast, so my daily routine naturally includes multiple outdoor excursions. I plan my day around consistent feeding times, routine backyard play, and long, structured neighborhood walks to keep your pet happy and relaxed. I treat your home with the utmost respect while keeping your pet’s daily routine completely unchanged. By staying overnight, I ensure your pet enjoys the comfort of their familiar environment, preventing any separation anxiety and leaving your space as clean as I found it.
“Naomi was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dogs, kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our house was spotless when we returned and treated with so much respect. We came home to two happy, pups and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Melissa had great communication and took great care of our Labradoodle and Beagle. The weather was nice so our beagle was in and out constantly. Beagle shenanigans! We will definitely use Melissa again. I couldn’t provide additional feedback since it was grayed out but house was as we left it with no issues. Thank you, Melissa!”
“We really felt at ease with Donavon taking care of out pets. The house was left clean and the mail was brought in. It really made coming home a lot easier. I will def use him again. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of pets all my life. Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets whenever needed. As a college student with high availability, I can house sit Mondays after 12pm, Tuesday-Thursday after 3pm, and anytime Friday through Sunday as one needs! I prioritize your pets safety and comfort through constant supervision, secure routines, and open communication. I will carefully follow your specific home rules, maintain your exact feeding schedules, and provide frequent photo updates to ensure total peace of mind. Your home will remain clean and respected, and your furry family member will receive undivided attention, love, and dedicated care in their own familiar environment.
“Cathryn did a great job with my two pups. The apartment was just as clean as it was when I left it to get and the dogs seemed to adjust just fine with no temperament issues after. She kept in contact and followed med/feeding/walking directions; even sent pics. I would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have had the privilege to care for both cats and dogs throughout my life. I have a 5 year old Mini Aussie named Juno at home and had a black cat named Nala who lived a long life of 19 years. I’ve also helped care for a former roommate’s cat and have experience walking dogs for my neighbors and dog-sitting for family friends! I work part time Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, but I’m available starting at 5 - 6pm on those days. I’m pretty flexible the rest of the week and am happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. I’m always open to discussing specific times ahead of time to make sure I can be there when you need me! I’m very attentive to the safety and well - being of every pet in my care. I’ll always keep a close eye on their behavior, surroundings, and individual needs to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. I’ll follow any instructions you provide and make sure your pet’s routine is maintained as closely as possible. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Nicole did a fantastic job! I had to leave town for the weekend and she boarded my dog. My dog got to play with her dog, go to the dog park, and snuggle up on comfy blankets. Nicole sent me tons of photos!”
About: Hi! I am an extremely dog lover. I've had rescues for 13 years. I do have a dog 1.5yr old dog that loves other furry friends. My work is hybrid, so I can rearrange my days to be home if needed. Happy to care for your fur baby in my home, or if you prefer yours, I would need to be able to bring my dog along as well. Hybrid work schedule with a relatively flexible day to day. I am a homebody, so love just hanging out at the house teaching my dog new tricks. No kids in the home. My yard is unfenced, but easy to take short or long walks as needed. My dog is kenneled when I'm not home as well.
“Tara was Great!!! She watched our Newfoundland and our daughter's deaf and blind aussiedoodle. She kept us updated and of course with lots of pictures. When we got home we could tell they were well taken care of.”
“Rachel was amazing. She was very accommodating and communicative. She treated our pets like her very own and she is definitely a dog lover. We will definitely hire her again. Thank you Rachel!!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and taken care of puppies and senior dogs! I take my dog on walks and play with her constantly. I am currently in school right now and am looking to spend my winter and summer break taking care of animals! I am available almost everyday of the week! My family and I have a fenced yard and let my dog roam around while she does her business. I also take my dog on walks, rain or shine. I play with her and keep her entertained

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - O'Fallon
Rylan was amazing! I was crunched for time with finding a sitter and he got back to me instantly and was able to do a meet and greet the same day! He went above and beyond what I expected with my high energy pup and most importantly put my mind at ease. He kept me updated on my dog with texts and pictures and made sure he was given his meds and the attention he needs! We will for sure rebook with him!
Brianna was absolutely amazing! If I could give her more stars I would! She was wonderful with our 3 dogs! She did everything we asked and more! She was on time, checked in with us the whole time, she left our house so clean and nice (which I did not ask she just did) she is so incredibly nice and thoughtful she even left us banana bread and dip! I will absolutely be using her again and referring her anytime someone asks! She was very thorough and asked questions and took great care of our dogs! I cannot say enough about her she is truly awesome and I can't wait to use her again!!!

Our house was spotless when we returned and treated with so much respect. We came home to two happy, pups and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!
Corensia is amazing with my high anxiety pup and is so helpful when I need a last minute booking. She plays and walks him, he is genuinely excited to see her every time she watches him! She has done overnights in my home as well as day sitting when I work. I absolutely love her
This was our first time using someone outside of family to care for our cats and couldn't be happier. Hailee was dependable, communicative sending regular updates and clearly comfortable caring for our fur babies. Coming home to well cared for cats and their clean environments made all the difference and will absolutely book with Hailee again. Highly recommend.
Allyson was great with Sadie. She is normally a shy dog, but she warmed right up to Allyson and was cuddling with her in no time she kept me updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend using Allyson to take care of your dog she is great
This was our first time using Rover, and Olivia was fantastic. She went above and beyond caring for our anxious dog, Luna, staying with her so she never felt alone. Olivia was also incredibly respectful of our home and left it even better than she found it. We’ll definitely book her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - O'Fallon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in O'Fallon on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,508 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across O'Fallon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred O'Fallon walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in O'Fallon maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in O'Fallon choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
